ENTERPRISE Singapore, in collaboration with the Ministry of Manpower and other agencies, has launched two new measures and enhanced another to strengthen human resource operations.

Second Minister of Manpower and Home Affairs, Josephine Teo said Friday at the Institute for Human Resource Professionals (IHRP) Conferment ceremony and office opening, the three initiatives will bolster human operations in three key ways:

3. Promote the use of data and technology for better human resource decision making

The second initiative is the enhanced HR Shared Services Scheme (HRSS). The scheme that was piloted in 2015 enabled to date about 150 companies (see amendment note) to tap on trained human resource professionals and outsource the more manual and operational human resource functions including payroll processing and claims administration. Each participating company on average managed to shave 68 man-days over the 12-month pilot.
